Debbie Reynolds and her daughter Carrie Fisher will have a joint funeral and be buried together, their family has confirmed.
Reynolds' son Todd Fisher said his mother and sister would be laid to rest at Forest Lawn-Hollywood Hills, the burial site for a number of celebrities including Bette Davis, Stan Laurel and Liberace.
A date for the funeral has not been set but it will be a private ceremony, while a public memorial is also being considered, Mr Fisher said.
Singin' In The Rain star Reynolds, 84, died from a suspected stroke on Wednesday, just a day after the death of her 60-year-old daughter.
Fisher, who shot to fame as Princess Leia in Star Wars, died in hospital after suffering a heart attack on a flight from London to Los Angeles on December 23.
Her body was released to her family on Friday, the Los Angeles coroner's office said.
Brian Elias, chief of operations at the coroner's office, said an "examination" of her body had been completed.
Mr Fisher said he was pleased his sister's body had been released to the family, adding: "My mother and my sister are together right now."
He announced Reynolds' death on Wednesday as he revealed her last words were about her late daughter.
"She said, 'I want to be with Carrie'," he said. "And then she was gone."
In an interview on US television, Mr Fisher insisted his mother did not "die of a broken heart" following Carrie's death.
He told ABC News' 20/20 programme: "From the family's perspective, this is Debbie's destiny. She didn't want to leave Carrie and did not want to her to be alone.
"She didn't die of a broken heart. She just left to be with Carrie."
Describing Reynolds' final moments, Mr Fisher said his mother had spoken about her love for Carrie and expressed disappointment at not seeing her return from London.
"She then said she really wanted to be with Carrie," he added.
"In those precise words, and within 15 minutes from that conversation she faded out and within 30 minutes, she technically was gone.
"We're broken-hearted, those of us that are left behind. We also are happy that they're together. It's horrible, it's beautiful, it's magical they are together, it's beyond words, it's beyond understanding."
Mr Fisher also revealed his mother's favourite role was her Oscar-nominated performance as Molly Brown in the 1964 musical The Unsinkable Molly Brown.
A documentary about Reynolds and Fisher's relationship, called Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher And Debbie Reynolds, will be shown on HBO in the US on January 7.
